Keeping up with the Lunds: A Super Blessing

A Super Blessing

Let me first start out by putting some perspective on this weekend

Every year, we have a Superbowl party.
Last year we combined it with Kaleigh's blessing.
THIS year we combined it with Ryker's blessing.
Something is wrong with us

Saturday night the family started arriving. We got the party started with a little dancing.
And ONE of us was NAILING the moves. And one of us was just straight up confused.

Yes, we totally try and wear matching outfits wherever we go

Next...

we left 11 children dancing and screaming and doing who know what else at our house
and the adults went to dinner at Rumbi

Kami and Brent

Kori and Russ

Kaci and Raleigh

We were joined by mom and dad, of course and
Dave and Cathy Sandberg and Val and Matt Bateman
It was so nice to just sit and visit with everyone and
get a little break

Next...

We went back home and celebrated Kori and Garrett's birthdays

With LOTS of cousins

The next day...

Mom and the girls decorated our front yard

Kaleigh

Peyton

And Dada and Ryker are ready for the big day

Next...

Everyone came back to our house for breakfast.

Ummmmmm........I don't know what is happening here

The Little Women

I made crepes for everyone

And there were a TON of people too

And at least a million kids

Brayden and Garrett

Then....

The Superbowl Party began downstairs

And we all ate... AGAIN

And some of us stole other people's plates and plopped themselves right in the middle of the floor and indulged without a care in the world

Ava Sundloff DIVING off of the stage. This is the greatest picture I have ever seen.

Look at Braydens sick hairy legs and his black church socks with his basketball shorts... UGH

Yay!!! Another successful Blessing/Superbowl Sunday. Thanks to everyone traveling long distances, for coming to our EARLY church and for making our day so fun.

I promise there will NOT be a threepeat

This girl needs a break

The birthday celebration following dinner was especially fun. It's not often that we get all 12 of our grandchildren in one place at one time, so this will be a memorable event. Now as for the rest of the festive weekend...we loved it all. The blessing was beautiful, Raleigh outdid himself with articulate words and a loud, clear and understandable voice. All the men looked so handsome standing in the circle. It was another memorable event. The food following the blessing was wonderful and I thought it all went well considering we had SO MANY children there. P.S. Don't make promises you might not beable to keep but I do agree, you DO need a break!; February 6, 2012 at 1:05 PM

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
